You know..I can kinda empathize with her cuntiness

Shield Weaver get. Forgot how it’s basically the Nora Anointed outfit from FW but without the epileptic shimmer.

Booted it up just now after getting the 10€ upgrade. It is a pretty unnecessary remaster and Sony are seemingly overestimating the IPs popuIarity (at least among more hardcore fans) I still can't help being somewhat impressed by the whole intro sequence, the setting, the presentation etc.

But then I was immediately pissed off that the trophies won't pop when you import the PS4 save. I'm still on the fence on whether to replay it or not. I like Zero Dawns story better than Forbidden West though, so maybe it's worth replaying.

I have been in contact with Nixxes and they told me that they are looking into adding a camera lock for Aloy and that the team is aware of clipping issues and they are looking to it.

The camera hasn't really bothered me. I am enjoying the Frozen Wilds though, never played that before. Think I'm near the end of it though. Just become chieftain. Still haven't met a fireclaw yet though

Ooh, there's a set of collectibles. Usually these are ignore-worthy, but I recommend trying to get them. Because it's...

Now excuse me while I continue to kill every little bit of actual life there is. (I mean, it's a part of the upgrade economy, but I can't help but to feel a bit like a psychopath when playing the Horizon games. I kill everything that moves.)

Always a good time when you shoot a big, pretty bird out of the sky only to see it come crashing down and crumple to ground

I need my pelican feathers dammit

That, too, but also... fuck you hog. I no longer need anything from you. But you are there. And with my upgraded weaponry, it's a one-shot kill.

At least in ZD, if you get close enough to any animal on the ground with the spear, you'll auto lock on and it's an easy one hit kill with the heavy attack. Very good when chasing after boars and foxes.

(There's a pretty generous auto lock with the machines too)

Oh sure, but in case there's nothing (bones/skins) to be had, I have found myself to be shooting them just out of pure spite. Not necessarily even collecting the loot. Just because.

Perhaps HZD should have been nominated in TGA back in the day in the "games for impact" category? As in, games that want to make you mindlessly kill all the wildlife. It's an impact, for sure.

Oh man you need to check that out lol him and young Elijah Wood. Great twisted flick.
I'll add it to my movie backlog, thanks! In a similar vein, if you haven't seen Funny Games (not the 2007 US remake, but the 1997 Austrian original), you should. It'll at least... teach you to close the door if someone asks to borrow some eggs.

The remake was fine and Naomi was great in it. Same director on both.

Playing sequel just before this really really shows you how much of an advancement they did with forbidden West.

Not saying zero dawn is bad by any means but there is a big jump in gameplay, traversing, landscape, graphics etc
